arotaro:

Hey, I just want to say something: It’s pride month. When you make all your cutesy posts listing a dozen different orientations to be proud of, please, please don’t leave aromantic people out.

(And before exclusionists get on my case- If you don’t think we’re LGBT+, fine. I don’t want to start this argument up. I’m talking specifically to people who include aces and aros. If you don’t then this post is not for you and I don’t care what you do.)

Aros are so often forgotten. I see so many posts that are like “Support lesbians! Support pansexuals! Support asexuals!” etc. but nowhere are aromantics included. We deserve to be proud too, and that can be hard, especially when we’re so often ignored. I personally had a lot of internal struggle over my identity for a long time because I didn’t even know it was possible to be aromantic, since nobody ever talked about it. I’m sure I’m not the only one who went through that, and there are probably people still going through it even now.

So please, just… Acknowledge us. That’s all I ask. We exist. Please be proud of us, too.
